Cultivating Hope
At Sanctuary in Trauma, we believe that healing happens when women are surrounded by Biblical truth, caring community, and the hope found in Christ.
Every day, women come to us carrying stories marked by trauma, grief, broken relationships, loss, and difficult life circumstances. Through gospel-centered curriculum we create spaces where women can be seen, known, and reminded that they are not alone. Our training equips churches and ministries to use the SiT curriculum, enabling them to walk alongside hurting women in their communities.
Together, we are cultivating places where women can encounter eternal Hope.

A Story of Hope
“Sanctuary in Trauma provided a safe place for me to heal and grow. One of the things I loved most was the community. I was able to invite friends to attend with me, and I would encourage others to do the same—don’t walk through it alone.
Knowing that the SiT team was praying for me every week was incredibly meaningful.
Learning to recognize the lies I believed and say, ‘This is not from the Lord,’ was life-changing. It gave me a practical tool that I continue to use every day.”
–Grace, SiT Participant 2026

Flourishing Through Faithful Partnership
The need for healing does not end after one season.
Many women desire continued Biblical guidance, practical tools, and Christ-centered community as they continue their journey toward healing.
Funds raised through this event will support the development of Sanctuary in Trauma’s next 12-week curriculum, scheduled to launch in September 2027.
This new program will build upon the impact of our current curriculum and provide additional opportunities for women to experience hope, healing, and spiritual growth through Biblical truth and supportive community.
Your generosity will help make possible the research, writing, piloting, and refinement needed to bring this new resource to women and churches across the country.
